I'm taking you through a journey...
2016 has been a wild year for a lot of us. Being in this community a couple of years has given me a deep insight into the community. I thought I'd share a couple of stories during my time on warband and to give (hopefully) you all a different perspective of me. I came to warband late 2012. I obviously wasn't in the 'community' as such as I am today, however I joined with someone called Rundeen formally known as Goldking. I started off playing NW first being in the 63e to then being with 75th. At this time I sounded 12, so I used the no mic technique and I always used to throw my mouse at my wall like the mad child I was because I complained how it kept blocking left & right and not up & down. Near the start of 2013 I decided to create my own regiment called 97th and I absolutely loved it 97th_Col_Trot. I first created 97th with Mitchyyy (I believe he still plays mercs to this date) but he was busy for quite some time so he was replaced with someone called phlux who literally bought me all the servers (I still love you) but then started to be extremely mean and made everyone leave and so it was dispanded months later.
I met some awesome people like Nachoskiy for him to then introduce me to PW (The best warband experience I've ever had). Playing on Nexus (there was one before it, can't remember like rrc or something) I had brilliant memories one of them was having epic battles (I'll find the YouTube link later), we were on the bridge between Jerusalem and praven on Realms divided and we came up with a strategy to kill (I believe) the bohemians and this point I was in Baratheons known as Prince Serjic Baratheon we set up around 8 men on the bridge to lure like all 50 of them out of Oasis, we had horses hidden behind Jerusalem and men waiting just behind praven doors. They came and our strategy worked so well, it was beautiful!. There was another siege in vornneston where about 60 Lannisters sieged the walls. They came with an engineer and done a rhodok shield wall around him, one of our badass archers came and shot through one of the small gaps and killed the engineer it was so enthralling! In the end they managed to put a ladder up and at this point we were outnumbered 3 to 1. They began climbing and so me and jacob (King_Jacob_Baratheon) ran to the flag and we looked down to see almost every Lannister dead and we had won!. There's been so many sieges and it's been hell of a ride in PW. I met so many people and it was by far the best experience I ever had. I played PF for a small amount of time but that was just bad. Really bad.
I then wanted to improve and at this point I was extremely known in PW and for PW standards I was extremely good and obviously there was the legend of PW which was Svensken and he was far superior to anyone else. I decided to play on Ludus a lot more and improve I played it for months on end and at first I joined Legend as an archer (I came to 0 trainings and matches) and at this point my name was Fiettaa and on Legend roster they got it wrong and put Fietta so I stuck with that anyways. I then (for like 2 weeks) joined PoP (principality of power) with Jacob and obviously the leader was one of the most well known PW players Haxxxio I.E MonopoliS, Horacye (something like that) and Natasha. I quit after 2 weeks. During my time playing Ludus I met someone called Gibby Jr and he invited me to join an LGN46 training match and so I did. There was also a 3v3 event that happens where Tobi (manolo) took out Malta in a 1v3 and it was incredible. I then joined LGN46. I was currently using normal attack direction and was alright I suppose but I also met someone called Sponge and we did a 2v2 against BD and M and he told me to use inverse and I did and never stopped. In LGN the best infantries were Jokah, Gibby and me. Me and Gibby had some serious competition in LGN46 so we normally tried to be better than one another and was good fun. LGN46 also did plenty of scrims and lost all of them but I still enjoyed it and to this day is still the best community I've been in (love you chaff). I even enjoyed chanting "Let's go Legion let's go!" I also started to become active on the forums at this point and as people remember it was normally me and Gibby fighting posting screenshots of scores etc and who carried who. Me and Gibby and Ciiges used the rage Legend46 as we were in both legion and legend. At a later date we decided to change from legion46 to just legion for competitive. Me and Gibby got ego boost by Cleric (mainly), Deacon, BD and M. These people helped us improve a great deal by complimenting us. When me and Gibby were improving everyone else didn't so we left. We joined AA with the big man Bauglir to which the clan wasn't the best. I caught up with the community quite a lot and started gaining some reputation and was lovin' life I suppose. When AA disbanded me and Gibby parted in different places (he went to wonwokie and I went to Freelancers). I really enjoyed freelancers and the people were incredible (apart from I got bullied) but was banter, it was quite an emotional end to WNL5 and Watly became a villan. About 6 months past and Big Boys was introduced and I had a little smirk on my face as I wanted sweet revenge. I joined Wonwokie when Gibby and Ciiges left and just slapped into bigboys. Many months past again and am currently in University and have no motive to play competitive warband anymore (probably will return if something big came up) but I always love the gossip on the forums and ad much as I can be mean on the forums by being satire I still enjoy reading up about what's coming up etc. I've made some great friends through warband and I appreciate all the support I've been given. This story is just a fraction of what I've done .
Nota bene: I could make a tl;dr but I want you to read it all .
I've had an amazing time on warband and I hope to enjoy it some more before bannerlord comes out. The community has gave me enjoyment for many years so I wanted to give something back to you and hope you all have an amazing 2017!.
I've not finalised the game I'm giving away but it will be a AAA title that's a maximum of a year old (to celebrate 2016).
Winner will be picked 1st February
Entry is very simple all you have to do is post about your favourite time/memory in warband via a message, video, pictures etc. this could be Competitive, Multiplayer, or any other modules. I'd love to hear all your experiences. I will be non bias either, so past grudges etc won't count and everyone will have an equal chance of winning. I will be picking the one that's put a smile on my face. Please don't post something troll.
Nota bene: I've done all of this for my phone so there's probably plenty of mistakes.
Goodluck.
